Abstract

The widely accepted claim that women's and men's friendships can be characterized dichotomously as "expressive" vs "instrumental," or as "communal" vs "agentic," was analyzed. Women and men differed on a number of variables, but the differences did not form an expressive vs instrumental dichotomy.
